I use it for all control surfaces where appropriate to simulate servo response time. I would not like key 5 to muck about with this in some pre-cooked and inappropriate way. Key 5 should be just centre the controls - that and no more. If individual aircraft designers want to modulate it in some way, that's down to them. This is a bad idea.
